I have been trying to buy the Nightwish book - We Were Here (about their Endless Forms Most Beutiful album & tour) for a while now. There are 3 Editions - Finnish, German and English. I was trying to buy a used copy - for less than the c. £30 new price. Difficult to find the English version. Even looked at buying from the Nightwish webshop. But the cost of postage from Finland (Euro20-00) killed that. Then I found acopy on eBay - in English (said the listing). Bought it - and it was in Finnish… Returned.
In the last week or so, I found another copy on eBay - said to be in English. Checked with the Seller - yes, they said it was in English. It was listed as an Auction, starting at £7-50 - but no Offers. I contacted the Seller - ccould I make an Offer please…? No, they said - couldn’t accept less then the Listing price. I said I was willing to offer more - no reply…
FFW a few days, and the listing was nearly done.
I put in a late bid of over £30-00. I got it for… £7-50…
It arrived today - all looks good. Condition very acceptable - and in English.

“Guitar Slang - The Axe – or Ax, depending on whom you ask – is possibly the most common slang word for a Guitar. Surprisingly, the term dates back to the mid-'50s when jazz musicians used it as a slang word for Saxophone. Over time, it became a go-to term for the Electric Guitar.”
